Having spent many years not opening or going close to a book, a few years ago, by chance, I picked up a book and struggled to put it down. It was a real page-turner.
I have now found a passion for reading and found that a good book will transport you through time, allowing you to converse with the greatest minds that ever were. I aim to read (and process / understand) around 12 books per year.
This patch of my digital garden will serve as the place where I review the books I have read (more reviews / summaries coming soon). Unfortunately I only started to document this a few years ago. How hindsight is magical.
I try to read about a broad range of topics, so do not be surprised to find book reviews on business / finance, computer science, history, fiction and some self-help.
